No offense taken-
OK--glad to. I was trying to keep it brief so that I would not be a pain in 
the______. But I guess I only made it worse--
1. I don't understand about "November"
2. I have been using stockcharts.com. I have been a chartist (successfully) 
and now what to upgrade and expand. I am looking for software to make my life 
easier and be profitable. So-I want to see charts in an automated fashion that 
saves me time. I want to be able to ask the program to show me charts of stocks 
or etf s that fit the parameters (chart) that I specify and I would like the 
learning curve to be as easy as possible in learning how to tell the program 
what I want it to show me.
3. Time-- I spend about 4 hours a day trading now and about 3 hours 
charting--so I will have to gve some thing up to learn new stuff BUT I am 
willing.  I will spend at leasst 2-3 hours a day.
4. If it accomplishes my goals-as much as it takes--
5. I tried the oldFasttrack and it worked OK but I became ill and whenI 
was better they went to windows and I found stockcharts and I never went back. 
However-Idid make money with it.
Any of your thoughts I appreciate.
I have downloaded the program and printed the manual and intend to start 
budgwting time next week. I will give it a good try but I am not a computer 
sophisticate.
Thanks to all for your time and interest.

George:  Absolutely no offense but it almost seems like you will geta 
complete and helpful set of answers to your questions sometime 

<SPAN

.November.  I am not being flip but each answer seems directed at the 
brief questions you pose.
<SPAN

<SPAN 
class=960415323-30092002>2.      What are your 
objectives, at least in terms of the kind or kinds of trading software you are 
looking for?
<SPAN

wish to devote to its application?
<SPAN

wish to devote to learning it - to a level which gives you confidence in using 
its results to trade your own real money?
<SPAN

experience with other investment programs with which you can compare 
Amibroker?
<SPAN

If you shared a 
little of these kinds of thoughts and asked where people thought Ab fit into 
those goals or objectives, then I will bet you could get more complete answers 
towards that which you really want to know about.

I would be glad 
to try and help provide some perspective, but only when I know in generalwhat 
to provide perspective about.

other words you can't write Windows type forms. It also has not been 
improved in quite a long time.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2>RealBasic (<A 
href="">http://www.realbasic.com/) is a flavor 
develped by Real Software is a multiplatform (Mac, Windows) flavor that 
originally had no ability to build windows style forms and was (back around 
1997) used primarily for writing very fast dll's. It had the ability to 
produce compiled code while Msft's Visual Basic at that time (Version 3) was 
very slow and used only interpreted code.  I just visited their site 
and discovered that they have added forms capability.  The fact that 
Its Mac and Windows capable is nice althought I don't have any experience 
with it to remark on its realiability, etc.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2>Visual Basic (<A 
href="">http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/) is 
the 800 lb gorilla of the Basics. Its Msft's flavor and has evolved over the 
years to be the hands down favorite of all the varieties of basic.  
With well over 1 million copies having been sold it is considered as the 
"standard". VB (as it is commonly referred to) comes in several different 
configurations and each is targeted at a particular type of developer.  
The lower cost versions are targeted at developers of stand-alone apps while 
the higher end products are targeted towards the corporate type developer 
that write client/server apps, web based apps, etc.  The current 
release VB.Net is a re-write of the language and represents a sea-change in 
the language.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2> 
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2>The above basic (VB) is a stand alone product. Msft decided several 
years ago to make a version of basic that they used to provide programming 
capability to its Office products (Word, Excel, etc). This version is called 
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). VB (prior to the .Net version) and 
VBA are very, very similar and if you know one you should be able to 
navigate the other easily.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2> 
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2>Does it make a difference?  Yes. It really depends on what you 
would to accomplish as to which one you might use. Having said that it 
is highly likely that VB or VBA would be the likely choice if you want to 
write apps that run only in the Windows environment.  If you'd 
like to discuss this further lets take it off this 
board.
